Trump Pulls out of Interview after Questions his Dubious Claims About Crime

Thursday, August 22, 2024

Donald Trump backed out of an interview after a local paper asked him for data to back up his continued baseless claims that crime is on the rise under President Joe Biden.

The murder rate also spiked by 30 percent during the last year of Trump's presidency, the largest one-year rise on record.

The bloated orange pedo waddled away when confronted with facts.

Brave sir Donold ran away, ran away, ran away.

Too bad they don't have video of him waddling away.

Fmr Pres Trump backed out of an interview because the questions that would be asked would be too hard for him to answer?

James Gang - Midnight Man (1971)
www.youtube.com

James Gang is basically joe walsh before he became Joe Walsh, and is how I discovered I enjoyed Joe Walsh tunes.

But my attention to this song is not Joe Walsh or the lyrics (they're OK), but the amazing guest solo in, I think, the third verse by Mary Sterpka.

Ms Sterpka hits the vocals out of the park on this one. The way she blends in with the tune, but steps out there. A fine line she plays so well.

One of my all-time fav guest vocalists.

For once the lie fest didn't work.

@#8 ... For once the lie fest didn't work. ...

Based upon the current polling trends, I'd be reluctant to say, "for once."

There seems to be a general question facing fmr Pres Trump --- ~what else yer got beside lies?~

Back in ancient times when I was 18 years old, this was a favorite song of mine...

Hollies: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (1969)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt...

genius.com

...
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where?
Who knows where?

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
...

Yeah, that song made an impression upon me back in the day.

" You're on a roll this evening."

Frankly, in my nearly 20 years of posting, it's the easiest gopher ball I've ever seen.

Getting to the salient point, in a world of political double-speak, is my superpower.

IIRC, JeffJ accused me of it. Angrily.

What? Someone actually called out Trump for just,
making stuff up off of the top of his head?

About fricking time!

Never thought I'd actually see a simpering wimp nominated for the presidency. More brains and guts are needed for that job than Trump can ever summon forth in his burger-fueled fantasies. You want alpha? Vote for Harris.

#30 | Posted by Doc_Sarvis at 2024-08-24 06:53 AM

Liars gonna lie.

So ironic that he named his failing social media app Truth Social. Trump is incapable of speaking truth on any topic.
